Ranches of Brushy Top is a 2,000-acre community that encompasses 146 homesites, between Austin and Fredericksburg, just outside of Blanco. Ranches of Brushy Top is within the heart of the Hill Country, with Dripping Springs and the Texas Hill Country wineries in proximity. Fredericksburg, Boerne, Wimberley, New Braunfels, Kerrville, Llano, San Marcos and Marble Falls are within the area, and downtown San Antonio is approximately 40 miles.

In addition to hilltop views, Brushy Top offers a range of water features, boasting more than 20 acres of spring-fed lakes.

The community is a wildlife preserve, and homeowners often see native Texas species and exotic animals, including deer, antelope, Rocky Mountain elk, wild turkeys and quail. Two lakes are stocked with bass and catfish, and miles of hiking trails wind throughout.

Some buyers purchase acreage for a weekend retreat. Others view it as retirement property.
